MANILA (UPDATED) -- San Miguel Beer rode on a huge first half to hand Talk 'N Text a 114-96 drubbing and force a Game 7 in the PBA Philippine Cup finals at the Araneta Coliseum Friday.

The best-of-7 series is now tied, 3-all, and will require a deciding game Sunday.

San Miguel opened Game 6 with an explosive first quarter where they outscored Talk 'N Text, 40-24.

Marcio Lassiter, CJ Perez and Simon Enciso lit up the Texters from the perimeter area, propelling San Miguel to a 30-point lead.

Lassiter drained 6 treys to finish with 22 points while Perez and Enciso each had 20 apiece. Meanwhile, Moala Tautuaa scored 15, Jericho Cruz had 11 even as June Mar Fajardo tallied a double-double of 10 markers and 12 rebounds.

"That's what I'm waiting for, for everybody to click. Marcio is doing well plus, plus Enciso, no need for June Mar (to score much)... Everybody contributed," said San Miguel coach Leo Austria.

San Miguel took advantage of the absence of Jayson Castro, who sustained a sprained ankle in Game 5.

But Talk 'N Text still threatened the Beermen, with Roger Pogoy leading the charge with 31 points.

"We have to learn from this game," said Austria. "We were leading by 26 points all of a sudden naging 13 points hanggang 9. Mabuti yung composure namin nandoon pa rin."

The Scores:

San Miguel 114 - Lassiter 22, Perez 20, Enciso 20, Tautuaa 15, Cruz 11, Fajardo 10, Brondial 6, Manuel 5, Ross 3, Pessumal 2, Canete 0, Herndon 0, Zamar 0, Faundo 0.

TNT 96 - Pogoy 31, Tungcab 12, Rosario 10, Montalbo 8, K.Williams 8, Marcelo 5, Banal 3, Cruz 3, M.Williams 2, Ganuelas-Rosser 0, Reyes 0.

Quarters: 40-24, 63-50, 92-68, 114-96
